Constantly people are asking me different snacks they can have rather then reaching for the bag of greasy potato chips. I am always recommending different fruits that are filled with nutrients and will not have you feeling guilty after you indulge. For the next few weeks we will be discussing many snack foods you can eat on the run that will improve your health and overall quality of life.
Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa says that men who eat one apple a day lower their risk of heart disease by 32%. A study done in the Mayo Clinic, helped prevent the growth of prostate cancer cells. Another study at Cornell University, showed that the nutrients in the skin of an apple stopped the reproduction of colon cancer cells by 43%. And the National Cancer Institute showed that foods containing flavonoids like the ones in apples may reduce the risk of lung cancer by as much as 50%. The old saying of "apple a day keeps the doctor away" has been studied for centuries and the results keep brining back positive data. Next time you walk or drive by an apple stand be sure to pick one up and reap the powerful benefits.
One Apple a Day
1) Reduce heart disease by 32%
2) Prevent growth of prostate cancer cells
3) Halt reproduction of colon cancer cells by 43%
